The corporation listed assets and liabilities in the range of $500 million to $1 billion. Related affiliates include Kura Shipping Ltd and Probulk Inc.
Eastwind Maritime entered a deal with Chiquita Brands International Inc (CQB.N) in May, 2007, in which Chiquita sold 12 refrigerated cargo vessels to Eastwind for $227 million, then leased them back. The vessels transported about 70 percent of Chiquita bananas shipped to core markets in Europe and North America.
